Washington (CNN) White House press secretary Sarah Sanders suggested Tuesday that the White House has found an alternative way to get its requested $5 billion in funding for a US-Mexico border wall, marking a reversal from President Donald Trump's previous position. Sanders indicated that the White House could support a compromise bill to avoid a partial government shutdown later this week. "We have other ways that we can get to that $5 billion (for a border wall)," Sanders said Tuesday morning during an interview with Fox News. "That's something that we would be able to support as a long as we can couple that with other funding resources." Sanders added: "At the end of the day, we don't want to shut down the government, we want to shut down the border."
